Absolutely every owner of a portable personal computer sooner or later is faced with the fact that the battery begins to hold a charge poorly and is discharged very quickly. This is very frustrating, since the laptop is designed to work in places where there is no power outlet. In such cases, there is only one way out - to buy a new battery for your iron friend. But what should be done to ensure that this procedure is repeated as rarely as possible?

Step 1
First of all, it is worth recalling that a technical data sheet is supplied with all laptops, in which you can find the rules for operating your laptop. There is a paragraph on battery maintenance in the passport. It lists all the rules that must be followed. They are very simple, but not everyone observes them, so the battery very quickly begins to lose its qualities.
Step 2
After purchasing a new laptop, do not charge it immediately. Let it work until the battery is completely discharged. Remember that for good functionality of your laptop, after purchase, it is necessary to carry out 2-3 full discharge-charge cycles of the battery. Do not store the battery fully discharged or charged for a long time, as such storage can cause enormous damage to the battery. If you do not plan to use the laptop in the near future, then leave the battery about half charged and remove it from the laptop. Avoid using your laptop in temperatures above 35 degrees, as this can dramatically decrease battery life. It should be noted that using the laptop at critically low temperatures is also not recommended.
Step 3
Try to avoid partial charging of your battery as it will reduce the life of your battery. Always charge the battery fully. You should also not put the laptop on charging until the battery is completely discharged. Remember to completely discharge the battery every 1-2 months. You should not buy batteries in reserve, as they begin to age and lose their quality immediately after purchase. Buy a new battery only when the need arises.
Step 4
Also, adjusting the operation of the processor and video card will help to extend the battery life of the laptop. The processor consumes the most power. Especially powerful processors consume a lot of energy. Each laptop has several types of energy saving, from which you can choose the best one. Increasing the amount of RAM will also help to increase the operating time, because if there is enough RAM, the computer will not go to the hard disk to allocate additional virtual memory. A laptop usually comes with many preinstalled programs that you usually don't use. Disable them so that they do not consume additional hard disk resources. It is also necessary to disable additional functions and services that you do not use, as they also consume energy in standby mode.
